Beaufighters normally carried eight rockets with 25lb warheads, seen here being slotted into rails under the wing. These were aimed into the sea immediately in front of an enemy vessel, so they would penetrate below the waterline. In May 1944, 39 Sqn used double rockets for attacks on German radar stations along the south coast of France.
